I think we've improved. We got to get stronger as a football team. Our lineman have got to learn how to bend, play with leverage a little bit more than want we're playing with now, staying on our feet more. We got to get better at wide receiver. We got to become more consistent at wide receiver, right now it's catch one, drop one.

beat class excited far guy since stand surround talk team
As far as the class, I'm not one to stand up here and talk about this guy and that guy and say, 'We beat this team or we beat that team on a player.' That's just not my style. We are excited about this class. I think the big thing in it is what I have said since I've been here, which is I want to surround myself with winners.

anybody coach days entire field fun game gone guys hope injury seriously spring
To get off the field injury free. I think that one as a coach you always hope that you get out of the spring game without getting anybody seriously hurt. Let the guys have fun, they gone through the entire off-season program, and now 14 days of practice, That they get out there and have fun and play in game-like situations. I want to see them compete. I want to see us improve. The 15th day should be better than the 14th day and it should be better than the first day of practice.
